Hi, I’m John, solicitor, and reviewing your post, and may need to ask a few questions a long the way to assist you.

How long has this been going on for, has it been for quite awhile?

There are two options you can consider, one is applying for an extraordinary license and the other is a good behaviour license.

Both these options are detailed below with the links which you can consider with the application forms accordingly.

Extraordinary licence applications for a court imposed disqualification are lodged directly with the Courts. An application for an order for an extraordinary licence cannot be made while subject to:

• An immediate disqualification notice for an alcohol offence.
• A disqualification period related to service of a demerit point notice.
• A licence suspension order imposed by the Department of Justice’s Fines Enforcement Registry.
• A disqualification period imposed by a Court in another state or territory.
• The CEO refusing to grant, cancelling or suspending your driver’s licence, unless you are subject to another eligible disqualification.

Waiting periods

There are minimum wait periods before any extraordinary licence application can be made (or heard) by a Court and this is determined by the number and nature of the offence(s).

For further information visit the Magistrates Court of Western Australia website for more information.

Good behaviour period election (online)

This form allows you to elect to take the double or nothing option and drive on the good behaviour period.

This online form should only be used if you have been personally served an Excessive Demerit Points Notice (EDPN) in Western Australia, and you wish to elect a 12 month 'good behaviour period' (conditional) and continue driving in lieu of serving a disqualification period.

To be eligible to make this election you must:

• Have been personally served this notice at a Driver and Vehicle Services Centre or Agency site, Australian Post (Secure Collect) or a Baycorp service delivery agent;
• Hold a current valid Western Australian driver's licence;
• Not hold a provisional driver's licence;
• Ensure your election is received by Transport within 21 days after being served your EDPN, and
• Supply all the information requested in the form below marked with an

If after service of the EDPN and making this election you become subject to any other period of disqualification (including licence suspension orders) the start date of your GBP may be affected.

Please note:

• Elections can only be made by the person who has been served the EDPN i.e the person whose name appears on the EDPN
• If you're currently disqualified from holding or obtaining a licence due to licence suspension orders invoked by Fines Enforcement Registry, an immediate disqualification notice or a disqualification imposed by a court you may not be eligible to elect the good behaviour period
• Any good behaviour period election received later than 21 days after the EDPN has been served will not be accepted and the disqualification period will commence 28 days after service of the EDPN
• The good behaviour period will commence 28 days after service of the EDPN and will operate for a period of 12 months.
• Written notification is issued if your application for election of a 'good behaviour period' is approved or declined.
